Review

Written with humor, compassion, and gripping insight, this book offers
parents realistic, practical, and humane strategies for interacting with
their adolescent children. More importantly, readers are helped to
uncover mental blocks and biases that may be at the heart of many of
their conflicts with their teenagers. Covering a range of
topics—including adult selective memories; parenting styles;
sexuality; issues concerning school, leisure, and employment; and the
steps toward supporting teen independence—Marshall provides a view
that balances research information and actual experience.

A must-read for all family members involved in this critical stage of
human development—a wealth of family discussions will ensue. A helpful
reference list of related topics is included at the end of the book.
